Edge's 16-page GTA 6 cover feature lands October 29

Edge magazine will publish a 16-page Grand Theft Auto VI cover story on October 29, 2026, built on a visit to Rockstar's Edinburgh headquarters, according to sister outlets PC Gamer and GamesRadar+.

The feature includes interviews with Rockstar's leadership and exclusive new imagery. It arrives about three weeks before the game's November 19, 2026 release date.

What we know

Both PC Gamer and GamesRadar+ describe the same package:

• A 16-page cover story on GTA VI, based on Edge's trip to Rockstar's Edinburgh development HQ.
• Exclusive interviews with senior Rockstar figures. GamesRadar+ describes the project as the most ambitious in the studio's history.
• Exclusive new images of the game.
• A special gatefold cover showing artwork of the two lead characters, Jason and Lucia.
• The print issue goes on sale October 29, 2026.

If you'd rather not buy the magazine, you won't have to. PC Gamer and GamesRadar+ both say the full feature will be free to read on their sites from October 29, the same day the issue goes on sale.

There is also a subscription offer. According to both outlets, new UK subscribers get the GTA VI special edition free, plus 13 issues at 38% off the newsstand price. GamesRadar+ notes the collector's edition is limited to available stock. New annual subscribers outside the UK get a free digital copy of the special issue.

PC Gamer's Josh says Edge saw GTA VI "in action" during the visit. The piece is the latest in a run of pre-launch coverage. GamesRadar+ traces the start of that run to the game's extended showcase on Netflix at the end of August.

What isn't confirmed yet

The sources don't agree on the issue number. PC Gamer calls it Edge #230, while GamesRadar+ lists it as Edge 430. The on-sale date of October 29 is the same in both reports.

Neither outlet says what the interviews cover or what the new imagery shows. Readers will have to wait for the feature itself on October 29. Until then, it isn't clear whether it contains new gameplay details or mostly background on the game's development.

HeistNotes will cover anything notable from the feature once it is published.
